Part I Listening Comprehension
Section A
In this section, you will hear five short conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. At the end of each conversation, one question will be asked, and you have fifteen seconds to read the four choices marked A, B, C and D, decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with
a single line through the centre.
1.M: Hi, Annie. I want to thank you for teaching me how to make a homepage. Without your help, I could
have failed in the computer course again.
W: Oh, it was my pleasure. So, you passed the course?
M: Yes, I got an A!
W: Ah, good for you! Congratulations!
Question: What did Annie do for the man?
2.M: When you quit smoking you have to change your lifestyle. I had to stop drinking too much beer,
because when I drank, it made me want to smoke. I started eating more fruit and vegetable and I cut down on red meat.
W: Yeah, that makes sense. Change your diet...change your lifestyle...start a new you!
M: So far the toughest time is when I 蒺m hanging out with friends in clubs, bars or KTVs. And ...the doctor told me to keep my mouth and hands busy!
Question: Why does the man change his lifestyle?
3.W: Mr. Johnson, I believe I know what the problem is. It seems one of our staff confused your order with
another client 蒺s canceled order. We deeply regret this error and I will have your items shipped out to you today by express mail at no added charge to you. You should receive your software within 24 hours. M: Well, thank you. I appreciate your prompt service.
W: Also in accordance with our compensation policy, we will only charge you for half of the original order.
I hope these measures are satisfactory.
Question: What may take place after this conversation?
4.M: Oh, man ... I蒺m not looking forward to this upcoming trip to Europe.
W: But Europe is amazing! You 蒺re going to Frankfurt, right? I 蒺ve been there twice ... it 蒺s a delightful city!
You蒺ll love it!
M: Oh I蒺m sure I蒺ll like it when I get there .... that is, if I get there. I 蒺m terrified of flying!
Question: Why does the man worry about the upcoming trip?
5.W: Hey, George, take a look at this article. It says several major airlines are considering allowing people to
use their cell phones while in the air.
M: Oh no, really? That 蒺s one of the worst ideas I 蒺ve ever heard. A plane is now one of the few places where
I don蒺t have to hear people chatting on cell phones. I really enjoy the peace and quiet.
Question: What does George hate according to the conversation?
Section B
In this section, you will hear two long conversations. Each conversation will be read only once. At the end of each conversation, there will be a one- m inute pause. During the pause, read the questions and mark your answers on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
Conversation One
Listen to the conversation, mark each statement as either true (T) or false (F) according to what you hear. W: Hello, I 蒺m Sarah Forbes. I 蒺m visiting the Advanced Engineering Centre in Malaysia. You must be
Professor Robinson.
M: Hello! Welcome to the Solar-Hydrogen Eco-house!
W: So this is it ... I must say, it 蒺s a very interesting-looking house.
M: Yes, it 蒺s the house of the future, but when we designed it, we used a traditional Malaysian house design as
well as modern technology.
W: If you could explain how it works, I 蒺m sure our listeners will be very interested.
M: Sure. This is the first house in the world to run on hydrogen.
W: Oh! What 蒺re those things up there on the roof?
M: They 蒺re solar panels. When the sunlight hits them, the sun 蒺s energy is converted into electricity.
W: Wonderful. And what happens if it rains?
M: We collect the rainwater. It runs down that pipe into a big water tank in the garden. Then we use the
electricity we make from the sun to convert the water into hydrogen and oxygen.
W: Brilliant! You can make oxygen as well?
M: Yes, but it蒺s the hydrogen that we want. We keep it in a tank outside the house.
W: Why? Is it dangerous?
M: No, actually it蒺s quite safe. Come and see the hydrogen gas tank. If you come this way, OK, ah...here it is.
And that 蒺s the gas pipe that takes the hydrogen into the house.
W: What do you use the hydrogen for?
M: To power everything in the house―the cooking stove, the hot water.
W: That蒺s pretty good.
Conversation Two
Listen to the conversation, and choose the answer according to what you hear.
W:W e ll,goo d m o rnin g ag ain, eve r y one,and w e l com e to“P erspecti v es”,the w eek l y N e w S ou th W a l es R ad io
programme on subjects of general interest from our local area. Today I have in the studio Mr. George
Symonds. Good morning, George.
M: Good morning, Anne.
W: So, what are you going to talk to us about today, George?
M: Well, for people from New South Wales and particularly Sydney, this will be of great interest —I hope.
I 蒺m going to tell you a little about Sydney Harbour Bridge.
W: Wow! That 蒺ll be so interesting.
M: I think so. To start with, I 蒺d like to tell you a little about the size of the bridge. The arch span is 503 metres and the weight of the steel arch is 39,000 tons. The summit is 134m above mean sea level, though it can actually increase by as much as 18cm on hot days as the result of steel expanding in heat. The two pairs of pylons at each end are about 89 metres high and are made of concrete and granite. The steel used for the bridge was largely imported. About 79% came from the United Kingdom but the rest was Australian-made. The granite was quarried in Moruya down the coast, and the concrete is also Australian. W: So, most of the steel used to make our great bridge actually came from England?
M: Yes, I 蒺m afraid so. However, the workforce were all Australian!
W: Thank God for that. When was the bridge actually built?
M: The bridge was opened in 1932 but work first began in 1924, with the construction of the bridge approaches and spans, with two separate teams building the arch on each side working towards each other.
The arch was successfully joined on August 19, 1930. I 蒺m afraid that working practices weren 蒺t very fair in those days and the local government demolished 438 homes which were in the way of the approaches, and as many as 800 families living there were displaced without compensation. The standards of industrial safety were inadequate too. 16 workers died during its construction, mainly from falling off the bridge.
W: I didn 蒺t realise that.
M: It 蒺s true. The bridge was formally opened on the 19th March 1932 by the Premier of New South Wales, Mr.
Jack Lang. When it was opened, it was the longest single span steel arch bridge in the world and one of the greatest engineering masterpieces of its time. Several songs were also composed in advance for the occasion but these have now been largely lost or forgotten. However, three postage stamps were issued to commemmorate the opening of the bridge and these still exist. One of these stamps, with a face value of five shillings, is now worth several hundred dollars.
Section C
In this section, you will hear five short news items. Each item will be read only once. After each item, there will be a fifteen- second pause. During the pause, read the question and the four choices marked A, B, C and D, and decide which is the best answer. Then mark the corresponding letter on the answer sheet with a single line through the centre.
16.The forests in eastern Zimbabwe supply the country with wood and most of its fresh fruit. But the removal
of large numbers of trees and use of fire to clear land have caused a lot of damage to the area. Officials say Zimbabwe lost more than 1.5 million hectares of forest in 2016. This is mostly because of local communities cutting the trees for firewood or setting fires in forested areas to make hunting easier.
